Global Opacifiers market is expected to reach USD 24.5 Billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period from 2018-2025. Growth in the paints & coatings industry, especially in emerging economies such as India, China, Brazil, and Argentina and high use of opacifiers in end-use industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, electronics, and shipbuilding has augmented the growth of the market.
Market Overview:
Opacifiers are defined as the type of additives which are added to transparent objects to make them opaque. An opacifier helps to slow down the rate of yellowing in white profiles widely used in siding, window frames, and pipes. The reaction is localized in the surface layers of the polymer especially in opaque formulations used in building applications. The method of converting a transparent object into opaque with the help of opacifiers is carried out through three mechanisms: thermal expansion, crystallization, and suspended micro-bubbles. Tin oxide and zircon compounds are two mainly used opacifiers. They provide a better appearance and improves the visual viscosity of products in surfactant-based formulations. For instance, in May 2017, DowDuPont entered into an agreement to start a new polymer manufacturing site in Jubail (Saudi Arabia) which would have enabled it to capture the opaque polymers market in Saudi Arabia and have increased revenue.
